October's Little Landscape By Post Tutorial 🍂🦊 (Patreon)

Hello friends! I hope you're having a wonderful start to your week ☺️

October's Little Landscapes by Post follow along painting tutorial is ready for you! 🦊🍂 You can also find the tutorial for the Fox and Butterfly Sticker HERE

If you're subscribed to the physical mail tier, you should hopefully have received your goodies and line drawing by now! (If you are in the US) I dropped everyone's envelopes off on October 9th, but we had tornado warnings here that weekend, so I'm not entirely sure if they actually went out that Saturday or the following Tuesday, since Monday was also a postal holiday. I know there may have been a slight delay, especially since a few of you have reached out, so I'm hoping they've all made their way to you by now.

If not, or you don't subscribe to the physical mail tier, I've attached a printable line drawing below that you can print, trace, or use however you'd like to follow along with the tutorial!

I also wanted to give a little reminder about how the mail club works, especially since we had quite a few new subscribers this month! 🧡

I keep signups open through the 5th of each month so that you can actually receive that month's landscape during that month! For example, you had until October 5th to sign up for October's mail, and now you'll have until November 5th to sign up for November's, which I'll be sharing soon!

Once signups close, I get to work! Everything is made and packaged by me in my home studio. I print and cut the artwork, make the stickers (even the envelope seals!) prepare the line drawings on watercolor paper, design and print the letters, and decorate and package every envelope myself!

I take a lot of pride in doing it all and as the club grows, I'll eventually outsource some of the process. But for now, it takes TIME, especially with my squirrel brain running the show! 😂 So I give myself a little grace and a few days to get everything ready, depending on how many of you sign up each month. I really appreciate your patience and support!

Ok, back to our painting! If your envelope hasn't arrived yet, or you're not subscribed to the physical mail club, I've attached a printable line drawing and reference photo below so everyone can follow along! Supplies are listed below as well!

And remember, your landscape doesn't have to look exactly like mine! Feel free to play around with the colors, keep things loose, add more or less detail, or follow along just as I do. There's no right or wrong way to make it your own. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy painting! 💛
